The inhibitory effects of Cinnamomum cassia bark-derived material on nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells was determined in vitro. As a naturally occurring therapeutic agent, trans-cinnamaldehyde could be useful for developing new types of NO inhibitors.

J Agric Food Chem 1998 Jan 19;46(1):8-12 Growth-Inhibiting Effects of Cinnamomum cassia Bark-Derived Materials on Human Intestinal Bacteria.
Lee HS, Ahn YJ.Department of Agricultural Biology and the Research Center for New Bio-Materials in Agriculture, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Suwon 441-744, Republic of Korea.
The growth-inhibiting activity of Cinnamomum cassia (Blume) bark-derived materials toward five intestinal bacteria was examined. These results may be an indication of at least one of the pharmacological actions of C. cassia bark.

Int J Immunopharmacol 1999 Mar;21(3):149-59 Stimulating activity of Chinese medicinal herbs on human lymphocytes in vitro.
Shan BE, Yoshida Y, Sugiura T, Yamashita U. Department of Immunology, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, School of Medicine, Kitakyushu, Japan.
The effect of eight kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs (CMH) on human lymphocytes was studied in vitro. The extract of Cinnamomum cassia presl markedly stimulated human lymphocytes to proliferate. These results suggest that CMH extracts have a stimulating activity on human lymphocytes and these abilities could be used clinically for the treatment of diseases such as cancer.

Am J Chin Med 1992;20(3-4):313-7 Pharmacotherapeutic effects of kuei-chih-fu-ling-wan (keishi-bukuryo-gan) on human uterine myomas.
Sakamoto S, Yoshino H, Shirahata Y, Shimodairo K, Okamoto R. Medical Research Institute, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan.
Kuei-chih-fu-ling-wan (KBG), a traditional Chinese medicine with constituents including Cinnamomum cassia Bl. (Lauraceae), is used in the treatment of gynecological disorders. We investigated the effects of KBG on 110 premenopausal patients with uterine myomas. Clinical symptoms of hypermenorrhea and dysmenorrhea were improved in more than 90% of the cases with shrinking of uterine myomas in roughly 60% of the cases.
